I have heared that if we use 4gb ram with amd a8 7600 we will get only 512mb of dedicated graphics memory by default of the whole 2gb of integrated graphics of the apu so with that can we set the dedicated graphics memory to 2gb using 4gb ram. Even if the dedicated graphics memory remains 512mb can i play games like gta 5, Batman arkham knight, witcher 3 with it on low settings. I'm on tight budget but will buy a graphics card soon but want to play some of the games for now
Is 4gb enough for amd a8 7600 apu

You need at least 8GB of system memory for games like that today. Especially if you rely on the integrated graphics on the APU. Your motherboard BIOS may allow small increases in the amount of system memory you can make available to the iGPU, but it won't be that much. And only if your motherboard BIOS is sophisticated enough to have that option available.

I agree with clutchc, integrated graphics processors aren't meant to run games at 60fps. That's what dedicated gaming GPUs are for. Also, I'll mention the RX 550 (see below), as well as the GT 1030 releasing in a week or two as possible solutions to play games like Dota 2.
